[b]The offer of Eternal life ? John 3:16 & John 11:25-26 Jesus did not qualify who this offer was to except to who ever will. It was not to a mere 144,000.

Originally posted by stokerNo need to say 'probably' about the 144,000. The Bible is clear on who they were. Could be that Christ knew that there would be jokers in latter days who would claim to be in that group of select people. So he spelt it out.

Its 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel, ie decendents of Jacob. That excludes 'adpoted Jews' refered to by Paul who said "... he is a Jew who is one inwardly"
And they were virgin males.
Rev 7 and Rev 14.
